Custom Product Detail Pages (PDP) in Sparkforge Stores

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Custom PDPs let you build a unique product page per item in Sparkforge Stores. Each product maps to one Custom PDP at a time, and clicks from PLPs and featured sections route to it automatically with a fallback to the default PDP.

Sparkforge Stores ship with a default product detail page that works for most catalogs. When a hero product needs a richer pitch (longer story, embedded video, custom upsells), build a Custom PDP instead.

What a Custom PDP is

A Custom PDP is a dedicated page you build in the Site or Store Builder and map to one or more specific products. When a shopper clicks a mapped product from the Product Listings Page (PLP), a featured section, or any direct link, they land on the Custom PDP instead of the default.

Why build one

  • Storytelling: Embed video, demos, reviews, and FAQs tailored to the product.
  • Conversion: Use custom layouts and CTAs that match the offer.
  • Routing: PLP, featured sections, and product links all respect the mapping automatically.
  • Single association: Each product maps to exactly one Custom PDP at a time.
  • Safe fallback: Delete the Custom PDP and mapped products revert to the default PDP.

Prerequisites

  • At least one Product created in Payments > Products and added to your store.
  • Access to the Site or Store Builder for the sub-account.
  • Confirmation of which store you are editing.

How to build a Custom PDP

  1. Go to Sites > Stores > select the store > Add New Page.
  2. Toggle on Custom Product Details Page.
  3. In the modal, search and select the product(s) to map.
  4. Build the layout with PDP elements: images, details, CTAs, Related Products.
  5. Click Save, then Publish.

Design tips

  • Keep Add to Cart and Buy Now visible above the fold; repeat the CTA on long pages.
  • Use Text Customization to localize labels across PDP elements.
  • Reuse blocks across product pages for consistent branding.

Reassigning products

Open the Custom PDP in the builder, select the relevant product element or page settings, and update the assignment in the Settings panel. Assigning a product to a new Custom PDP automatically removes it from any prior one.

What happens when you delete a Custom PDP

Every product mapped to it reverts to the default product detail page automatically. No broken links, no manual cleanup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a product be mapped to more than one Custom PDP?
No. Each product can be linked to only one Custom PDP at a time. Assigning it to a new one removes the previous mapping.
What happens if I delete a Custom PDP?
All associated products automatically revert to the default product detail page. No additional cleanup is needed.
Do PLP and featured section clicks respect Custom PDP mapping?
Yes. Navigation routes to the Custom PDP when one is configured, otherwise to the default PDP.
Does a Custom PDP have its own URL?
Yes. The Custom PDP uses its own page URL and slug. Mapped products route shoppers there from PLP, featured sections, and product links.
Do PDP elements like Related Products work on a Custom PDP?
Yes. PDP-compatible elements and Text Customization settings work on Custom PDP layouts.
